I actually hope Rivers plays, I said it before and I mean it, Volek is a more dangerous QB than Rivers.

Don't get me wrong though, I would love for the Chargers to win, which is probably why I won't end up betting it.

It would be great for San Diego Chargers to win..cause it looks like in the future they may soon be called the Chula Vista Chargers.

I was just tweaking you on Rivers....I bet Billy plays most of the game...and so far I haven't been a fan of his ..but he played AOK last game.

Go Chargers!

I look at the success Volek had as a Titan, he was throwing the ball all over the field and putting up 300 yard games consistently with them, and with what Wr's????

If he has a great game Sunday...I'll be singing his praises 4 sure...

As much as I hate New England, I think they'll destroy San Diego. You don't go from 70 degree weather into 0 wind chill and not have it effect you. And if anyone wants to compare Jax going into Pitt, forget it. Jacksonville gets chillier than SD and it was about 30 degrees when they played at Pitt.

I do think the weather could be a problem for The Chargers, but it isn't as if they aren't expecting it. These professionals should be too focused to let the cold bother tham too much.

I wouldn't be concerned who started as Quarter back. Rivers has found some form in recent weeks and before he went off against The Colts he was looking pretty good.

I knew little about Volek before that game, but he impressed me in the final quarter, when most people thought The Chargers would fold without Rivers. I keep hearing about his success at The Titans with nothing like the offence he has to work with at San Diego. The only concern would be lack of game practice. A full game might be just out of reach.

I don't agree with those who think The Pats will run away with this one. Sure, they will almost certainly win, but I cannot see a winning margin any higher than 14.

The Pats defence will be tested to the limit with the Chargers recievers being massive to say the least. Jackon is huge and can collect almost anything at the moment.

Pats have come close to defeat a few times so I have heard this season and many have said it was the opposition making silly mistakes rather than the Pats being too good that have kept them undefeated this year.

Would love to see The Chargers win, but I think The Pats will just edge it.

I think the wind would have a bigger effect than the cold... unless your on the bench away from the warmers - can't see it making any difference.

I see you are from San Diego. If you think the cold will make no difference, you are crazy. Teams from California, Florida, Arizona, Texas and Louisiana have very poor ATS records when venturing into sub 32 degree weather. It takes several days to get adjusted. There's many people who've lived their whole lives in the north and still have trouble adjusting to winter.

hi_im_god 01-19-2008 08:13 PM

ne 38 sd 14 shouldn't be the controlling factor here. this isn't week 2.

san diego might like the cold. and maybe they're healthier.

personally, i love san diego.

i just don't want to be there for the tidal wave.

See Tom Brady in strong wind in NE against the Jets. That's about all you need to know about this game.

pgardn 01-19-2008 08:37 PM

A significant number of SD players have been on cold weather teams.
I dont think weather should be a problem. I think NE is the problem.

And LT not full speed...
Rivers????
Gates.....

SD does have two very good CB's. If they can possibly match up and allow some creativity on defense... Nah... NE. Rootin for San Diego.

Raised in the snow/cold winter crap of upstate NY...got smart and left 25+ years ago...if necessary I could suit up in the cold no problem...I just choose not to..I like 70F and sunny better.

Keating kicks a field goal with no time left and Chargers win.....Brady has a bad day as Jessica Simpson decides to dump Romo and keeps waving at Tom during the game. He throws 12 interseptions and fumbles 5 times.....but gets Laid after the game...which is nice!

Go Chargers

Yes, hopefully by 7 or 10 points whichever it was. I think they are favored by 14. So yes, I would love it if the Pats win just like that game!! I think it will be an interesting game.

calling on yoko romo for help is a sign of desperation.
